I'm seeing this error as well. It seems to have started after I updated the firmware on my hub to the latest version that was pushed a little over 10 days ago.

I started getting this error recently too though I don't know when it started happening. I get it with the android API key and my own developer key...

[psolin]

Yes, this is now failing constantly, making this plugin unusable. Tried using a more public key, as well as my own private one, and nothing works.

I had to remove the username and password from my config file and now my private keys are working again. Weird. Must have been an update to homebridge-wink.

I removed my username and password as @gleep52 mentioned and still nothing. Any official solution or further recommendations?

[jeffl78]

I’m having the same problem, removing the password & username didn’t not help. Can anyone help us with this?

[coheredigital]

Hey @jeffl78 check out the homebridge-wink3 package. It worked perfectly for me first try. Sorry I didn’t add this to my previous post. I don’t have a link but a quick search will get you the repo I’m sure. Just make sure you remove the previously installed wink package as they will attempts to register under the same name.

[jeffl78]

Thanks, I’ll give it a try with my first gen wink hub & let you know what happens.

[gleep52]

the wink3 package should work for you without the email address and password. I believe that's what I'm using right now.

[jeffl78]

Wink3 works great, thanks!

I tried both homebridge-wink and homebridge-wink3 and still have the same issue. I am running wink hub 1.

[gleep52]

do you have the key in the config file, or are the lines for email/password still there? You'll need to remove those lines completely and just use the keys instead.

[topgunpreet]

Removed lines of email/password and it is working now with homebridge-wink3. Thank you. I assume wink3 is the correct package?

[gleep52]

Yes it appears wink3 no longer understands the email password lines and if you take them out, it works again.
